THE LIQUOR CASE IR COU ET.-E ~ge F. Strack?
en, convicted of selling liquor without a Uce?se, was
u sentenced by Judge Platt on Monday to pay a fine of
- six hundred dollars, or spend six hundred days in
jail. This appeared extremely severe, when oom
pared with the sentences formerly passed on such
offences, audit wai known to but few persons that
the law regulating the fine bad been changed. At the
last session of the L?gislature tba City Council were
authorized to regulate the price of liquor licenses,
i bat the statute distinctly stated that in case of any
violation the fine would be triple the amount of the
license, or one day's confinement for each dollar
The City Connon raised the price of a Ucease from
fifty dollars to two hundred dollars, and as Str?cken
was the fir? t person who has been found guilty under
the last 1 "gislatlve enactment, the Une imposed was
? simply in accordance with its pro v i s ' ons. The legal
necessity of the sentence cannot be questioned, but
it is doubtful if the Legislature contemplated that
the action of Conned would cause the penalty to he
so far in excess of that imposed under former laws.

- -ot the discovery of a terse deposit of bone phosphate

depth from eight inches to five feet, and to cover
several thousand acres. A Urge tract of tho land has

of the ease with which it can be obtained, uni its su?
perior quality as a fertiliser."

Republican Mass Meeting at the Club
House?
. A mass rate tin g of the Bepnblican party was held
al the-Club House last night, for the purpose of
curing proper nominations for Mayor and Aldermen
The body of the hall was soon densely crowded with
colored Republicans. Of the few whites present,
large proportion were foreigners who had never
fore been identified with the party. The stage waa
kept clear until the callers of the meeting appeared
General Scott, D. T. Corbin, F. J. Moses, R. C. De
Large, Samuel Dickinson, C. P. Leslie, C. C. Bowen
and others, took seats on the stage. B. C. DeLarge
stated to the house that the meeting was called
the purposes mentioned above, and moved that
T, Corbin, Esq., be called to the chair. This propo
sition met with a perfect storm of noes, and yells
''Pillsbury." DeLarge then suggested that the vote
taken by rising. Only a few rose in favor of the nomi
nation, the hon -, rising en moue in opposition to the
same. DeLarge chen addressed the meeting, statin
that this was not the time for division; they should
unite and not indulge in bickerings, which would oui
bring ruin upon the rarty. Tho meeting was co
called 'or the purpose of putting down any one man
In tho party, but in the spirit of Republicanism,
unity and concert of action were desired, the meet
ing should exhibit no such spirit as was evident
to-night. [DeLa ge was here interrupted by loud
and continuous cries of "Pillsbury," which drown
the voie : of thc speaker.] DeLarge stood bis ground
bravely, and though repeatedly interrupted in
similar manner, concluded his remarks with ai
earnest appeal to those present to be careful of then
actions and not suffer themselves to be drilled into
course which would injure the party. He said that
the disrespect shown to one (Corbin), who had been
identified with the party, almost tempted him
think they were not Republicans; but he would
offer as chairman Mr. F. A. Sawyer. A sudden
whim seized the motley crowd, and they shouted
"Sawyer" until they were hoarse, but no Sawyer ap?
peared. It "was announced that Mr. Sawyer was
below, but would arrive in a few moments. The
meeting then calmed down, and from a bird's-eye
view of the crowded audience, the following tads
were apparent: First-with the exception of a.select
few on and around the ataje, the house waa packed
with the adherents of Pillsbury. Immediately in
front of the stage were tii\cl : cquers, w jo first gave
tongue, when the whole pack would take , up the
Pillsbury cry. Among this chosen oand were eeve
ral white men, recent adherents of the party, whoas
voices were heard above the din, saying, "PUlsbn
ry's me man."
Mr. Sawyer having appeared, was introduced to the
' meeting and was received with en th usiastic applause
In respose he expressed his thanks for the honer,
i he meo ting had been called to consider the good cf
the City of Charleston, and there ? ere many mern
hers of the Republican party present who bad no
doubt come for the same purpose. The city was
now overwhelmed with debt and the people groan
lng under the heavy burden of taxation, sod if there
was a time when th J affairs of the city required
wise and j udtcious counsels it was now. This power
should not be put in the hands of any one who
could not use it wisely. It was not his desire to os?
tracise any man, bnt to consult with them aa to tho a a
beat fitted for the positions of Major and Aldermen
of the City of Charleston. The Republican party
are governed by certain medea, which, indeed, ara
common to all parties, regulating nominations, scd
if these were adhered to he pledged himself to stand
by that nomination. (Cheers.) He claimed, how
ever, th *t this norn tm lion must be made by a ma?
jority and not by a fiction or clique. He concluded
by saying that he hoped the meeting, os good Re?
publicans, would receive any motions or listen to
any addresses that should be made. On motion
Thomas Holmes and A. J Banaler were appointed
secretaries and took their seats.
Mr. Sawyer said that hearing no morlona, he would
suggest that some gentleman present who eigneo the
coll for the meeting be requested to speak. (Calls
for Moses and Tom'inson, also cries of Kol No.
Mr. F. J. Moses said that ho had not intended to
speak and would not detain them. He referred to
tho disgraceful conduct of the m -etiug, whon Major
Corbin's name was proposed as chairman. The meet
iag was evidently packed with the adherents of Pills
bury, whu forgot the respect die to a distinguished
r-ombor of the party, and hj decline! addressing
them. Mr. Mose', Major Corbin and some
others then left the hall. After several
calls, which were unanswered, Jenks re.
fponded", and began his speMi. Ho denlid
that the meering was pa:ked, an 1 was glad to seo
a tull meeting. The State ticket had boen success'
fal, and to that triumph was now to bc added anoth'
er. Mr. Jenks then diso us sed slavery audits his'
tory, from Alaska to Florida, growing hot and cold as
his fancy wandered from pole top?le. Af.erclr
cumambulatlon, he touched upon the city elections,
and spoke of the Republic m parry as being the ear
of progress. He said he hod hoped to have cheered
the meeting with the tidiaga that Andrew Johnaon
was no longer President. [Loud cheers.] But he
hoped in a few days to go to Chicago to nominate a
new President, who had flanked the Wnite House
and had the support'of the party. In conclusion he
stated that, as the ex pon. nt and particular friend Of
Pilisbu' y,he would say that ho Pilsbury) seemed to
be the chosen candidate for Mayor [ cheers], and ha
was authorized to state that if Pilsbury was chosen
he was willing to serve, but left it to the meeting to
put him in the position.
The chairman introduced General Scott and Chap?
lain French, who both addressed the meeting. Ihey
were followed by J. M. Morrison.
A resolution was then adopted providing for the
election at the ward meetings, ordered to be held to?
night, of nine delegates from < ach ward, which dele?
gates shall, ls convention of the whole, nominate
Mayor and Aldermen of the city, the said nominees
to be considered tho regular nominees of the party.
The roaolution also stated that the m muer of Mr.
Pillsbury's nomination was contrai y to the rules of
the party, and had made this further action necessa?
ry. The meeting tt en adjourned.
THE COMPT.TMTllTTABY BENEFIT.- Th? Bar
bor of Seville" waa performed laat evening to a per?
fectly jammed house. Every available nook and cor
ner.of the hall was occupied, and persons were stand?
ing in the lobbies and windows. Mgnor Orlandin?
was perfect in figaro, and Signor Susini admirable
in Don Birtolo, while Count Almaviva and Rosina
fulfilled the most enthusiastic expectations. Miss
Mcculloch was particularly successful in the sing?
ing lesson scene, and her rendering of the "Caro
Nome" wai encored with great applause and show?
ers of bouquets. Altogether, this complimentary
benefit to our fair countrywoman may bc considered
a completo success.
One of the most gratifying incident) of the evening
was the floral decoration of the hall, every garland
of which was wrought by the f*ir fingers of tho-e
who had been the schoolmates and friends oi tte ac.
compliahed prima dom.a.
